The Cove at Salem

Stayed here for a weekend in April so we could explore Salem. The hotel is located 5 from downtown and located across the street from a Dunkin and Convenience Store. The rooms are clean, the staff is friendly and there are fire pits on the grounds.

Clean bedding and towels. The floor could have used an additional sweep/vacuum, and the bathroom drain plug was stuck down, then completely came out when we finally got it up. Comfortable beds although the walls were pretty thing. People in the parking lot sounded like they were right at our door. Overall, the stay was good and would stay again.

the room was actually larger than expected and very comfortable, had everything you needed except a microwave, parking was onsite, the motel is just minutes from everything, and quiet, the only thing I was not aware of was the the $100 room fee they charge at check in you receive back within 5-10 days, it dipped into my spending money, other than that I would stay here again!

Was not able to pass the lobby. Made reservation and fully paid online but was told i had unpaid balance of $150. Then due to not having enough for the incentive on my card, my bank is out of state and was short $9, family and i were sent away and i lost on $200. When booking, make sure you are asking all the questions so you don't end up like us and having your family vacation ruined.

The hotel has recently been renovated, and we loved the modern touches like the keypad lock on the door and the walk-in shower. Rooms are huge, beds are very comfortable, and location was perfect for us - just outside of town with easy access to all the sites. Personable and accommodating staff was the cherry on top of this Salem sundae. We will definitely be coming back!

Clean room, decor was nice. You can see some stuff is a bit rough around the edges from the renovation, but it’s generally nice. Easy check in and parking.

My stay at The Cove was generally positive, outside of the first night. I had hoped for a second floor room, but none were available. Yet, when I stepped into the room it was lovely. It was modern yet comfortable with nearly everything I needed. The bed was also very comfortable. (An extra blanket would have been nice, but thankfully I brought a small one of my own). The staff were friendly and fairly responsive. There was a bit of misunderstanding about the housekeeping and the system for communicating about it felt cumbersome. The first evening the upstairs guests were quite loud, and their footsteps heavy and disruptive well into the night. Also due to heavy winds that night, the door to the room rattled back and forth all night which was quite startling and made sleep very difficult. It is a motel-like set-up where you enter the room from the outside...a detail I either didn't notice or realize upon booking. The remaining three nights however, were quiet and peaceful and I slept much better. A couple of other suggestions: access to the ice machine would be helpful, especially for early morning departures and needing to keep remaining food cold for the day. Lastly, a microwave would also have been nice in the room. The Cove was a convenient spot, with easy access to nearby towns, food, and shopping. I enjoyed my stay, outside of the first night and would recommend with some caveats.

My only complaint would be how hot/stuffy our hotel room was. We also couldn’t adjust our thermostat at all.

We stayed in room 134. It wasn’t one of the themed rooms, but it was very modern and clean. It had everything we needed with the exception of a microwave (or at least we couldn’t fine one). That would be my only suggestion - add a microwave. Location is good. It is not downtown. Downtown is walkable, but we had one in our party that has a bad knee, so we drove into downtown and parked in a garage. As it was off season, we didn’t have a problem parking. We had a good time in Salem and would definitely stay at the Cove again if we make it back up.
